Chapter 5.3, Problem 17E
During the summer of 2014, Coldstream Country Club in Cincinnati, Ohio collected data on 443 rounds of golf played from its white tees. The data for each golfer’s score on the twelfth hole are contained in the DATAfile Coldstream12.
- a. Construct an empirical discrete
probability distribution for the player scores on the twelfth hole. - b. A par is the score that a good golfer is expected to get for the hole. For hole number 12, par is four. What is the probability of a player scoring less than or equal to par on hole number 12?
- c. What is the expected score for hole number 12?
- d. what is the variance for hole number 12?
- e. What is the standard deviation for hole number 12?

- iid 1. The CLT provides an approximate sampling distribution for the arithmetic average Ỹ of a random sample Y₁, . . ., Yn f(y). The parameters of the approximate sampling distribution depend on the mean and variance of the underlying random variables (i.e., the population mean and variance). The approximation can be written to emphasize this, using the expec- tation and variance of one of the random variables in the sample instead of the parameters μ, 02: YNEY, · (1 (EY,, varyi n For the following population distributions f, write the approximate distribution of the sample mean.
